IMMINENT DANGER
AN ORATORIO IN THREE DANGERS: TO THE ENEMY, TO HIS FRIENDS, TO HIMSELF.
1080P · C4LA-SQUAD
A colossal sacred oratorio, sung completely straight, for ImminentTass: the squad's sniper and its C4 man. To the enemy: over a hundred SRR-61 kills in the kill feed, and C4 that twice took out the armor that had just killed our leader. To his friends: the nights he played on the other side. To himself: 'ImminentTass [C4 EXPLOSIVE] ImminentTass', nine times. Every sung claim is on the kill feed. Stand well back.

Imminens! 0:55 We never saw him take the shot, we never saw him fall; 0:59 We only ever saw his name, up in the corner, small: 1:05 "Imminent, Sixty-One," in the column of the slain, 1:10 And before we'd read it once, the name was there again. 1:15 A hundred times the rifle spoke! A hundred times! 1:19 Two men in a single breath! A single breath! 1:24 Imminent! Danger! 1:26 Sound the bells and bar the door! 1:29 Imminent! Danger! 1:31 Danger now and evermore! 1:35 Tass is on lower left. He's got a sniper rifle and he's not afraid to use it. 1:40 Yep, Tass was owning us with that sniper rifle. 1:44 But a rifle was not all he carried into war: 1:49 He bore the charge that gave C4La its name: the C4. 1:53 Twice the armor cut our leader down, and twice he made them pay: 1:59 Two men with a single charge, and two another day. 2:04 And once, when three had gathered near, Three! 2:09 Three men with a single charge! Three for one! 2:14 Imminent! Danger! 2:17 Sound the bells and bar the door! 2:19 Imminent! Danger! 2:22 Danger now and evermore! 2:24 C4La! 2:26 Okay, the tank decided that I was a problem. 2:30 Those warning C4s maybe should have been more threatening. 2:34 And some nights, when the sides were drawn, he fought for the other side; 2:40 The enemy wore our own name, and our own leader died. 2:45 "Killed by Imminent," it read, in the orange of the foe, 2:52 And from the ground our leader spoke the words we've come to know: 2:55 Oh... nuts. Oh, Tass got me. 2:58 But the strangest danger that he faced in all the war 3:04 Was the one he carried with him: his very own C4. 3:09 And the kill feed wrote a line no hero ever should: 3:15 Imminent... C4... Imminent. 3:21 Nine times, it was written. 3:24 And sometimes, he took one with him. 3:33 I'm gonna try a pincer maneuver. 3:41 Siri, what is a pincer maneuver? 3:42 Imminent! Danger! To the enemy! 3:49 Imminent! Danger! To his friends! 3:54 Imminent! Danger! To himself! 3:58 Sound the bells and bar the door! 4:04 Danger now and evermore! 4:08 Periculum! Imminens! 4:19 He was, by every measure, a very good sniper. 4:25 Oh, Tass is about to die. I'll bring you help. 4:28 Stand well back! 4:31 Is Tass still alive? Nope. Tass is dead.
